Membership Terms

Last Updated: October 4, 2026

1. Membership Overview

Malaika Commons offers membership for global founders and the people who support them. Membership may include free and paid tiers, each with different benefits and access levels. These terms govern all membership types.

2. Membership Types

Free Community Membership

Access to community updates, select free events, and our online community platforms. Benefits may vary and are subject to change.

Paid Membership Tiers

Enhanced access to events, programming, networking opportunities, and other benefits as described at the time of purchase. Specific benefits vary by tier.

3. Payments

Membership fees already paid are non-refundable, including for unused portions of a period, except where the law requires otherwise.

4. Changes to Benefits

We may change membership benefits over time. We'll tell members about material changes before they take effect.

5. Cancellation

Paid memberships renew automatically at the price shown when you joined until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your Luma account, which stops the next renewal; your benefits continue until the end of the period you've paid for. For annual memberships we'll email you a reminder before each renewal. If the renewal price changes, we'll tell you before it takes effect.

6. SF Concierge and Launch Quarters Credit

SF Concierge and stays are provided by Launch Quarters and Check-In Hospitality, not by Malaika Commons, under their own terms. Members can use SF Concierge from their first day, including during the free first three months for eligible early-stage founders. Members who stay with Launch Quarters receive credit equal to 5% of what they pay for the stay, to spend with SF Concierge, on the terms Launch Quarters publishes. To make this work we confirm your membership status to Launch Quarters.

7. Termination by Malaika Commons

We may suspend or end a membership, without refund, for reasons including:

  • Violation of our Terms of Service
  • Violation of our Code of Conduct
  • Fraudulent or abusive behavior
  • Failure to pay membership fees
  • Conduct harmful to the community

8. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Membership doesn't guarantee any specific outcome. We make no promises about:

  • Investment or funding opportunities
  • Introductions to investors, partners, or specific individuals
  • Business deals or partnerships
  • Job or career opportunities
  • Media coverage or publicity
  • Revenue, growth, or business success

9. Member Conduct

All members must comply with our Code of Conduct and Terms of Service. Membership depends on staying in good standing within our community.

10. Membership Data

We handle your information as described in our Privacy Policy. Members can see each other in community directories. You can hide your profile at any time by contacting us.

11. Intellectual Property

Membership does not grant any ownership or license to Malaika Commons' intellectual property, including our name, logo, content, or materials. Members may not use our branding without prior written permission.

12. Changes to Terms

We'll post changes here with a new date and email members about material changes before they take effect.
